Luss to Glasgow

Another great day. Woke to a view 500m out the window of Loch Lomond. Overcast weather but mild and a stunning view. We ate our lovely breakfast that our host had provided overlooking the lake. Then left for a beautiful walk through the local forest following a quirky fairy trail which included lots of hidden fairy houses, a troll, toadstools and even a book of spells. The river and bush were beautiful and took us on a circuit arriving back in the village. The village really was gorgeous but very busy with at least 4 tourist buses stopped. We collected our belongings and headed into a beautiful coffee shop before departing for Glasgow. The 40 minute drive was surprisingly easy and in no time we were parked outside the hotel and checked in. We then moved the car to a car park building around the corner which allows us to park for half price. We then boarded the Hop on Hop Off Bus and did a lovely tour of the city for the rest of the afternoon. This included disembarking once at the Clydesdale Distillery for an hour long tour and tasting. We really enjoyed learning more about whiskey and tasting was actually ok. We returned to the hotel for complementary wine and cheese in the bar and sorted out our arrangements for the night. We met cousin Seamus and his new wife Jaqueline and headed off for dinner at a cool pizza place which was huge and full of people and atmosphere. We left them and taking their advice visited two very cool bars while aquainting ourselves with the main shopping area. We have loved our first day in Glasgow and finding our way around very easily. It seems a very interesting city with lots of atmosphere. Czytaj więcej
